Governor Rendell loved spending money on upgrading old and building new sports venues. Didn't he propose $47 mil in taxpayer money to build a new soccer stadium in Philly to attract a MLS team to the city? Sent $20 mil to Scranton for a baseball stadium. Another $10 mil to Johnstown to upgrade Point Stadium. You think Philly built Citizens Bank Park and Lincoln Financial without any taxpayer money? Take your blinders off.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to keep the parade going. Kudos to you and all involved. Adults may understand the mess that the city is in but the children do not. Does Mrs G. have any interest in running for mayor? :)

If the commuter tax is enacted, not only should commuters be permitted to vote in the Harrisburg elections, the commuters should have representation on city council. Let's say 3 members from outside of Harrisburg and 2 members from the city. I also want a seperate account set up where we can see what the money is being spent on. Commuters use the roads. I expect to see those funds used for road maintenance. Commuters use sewer and water. I expect to see those funds used for sewer and water maintenance. I currently pay to park in one of city garages. Tell me. Where does that money go? Into the general fund? Spent on anything like redecorating office space?
